ABSTRACT

Examination of two well-preserved Cenomanian (Late ) specimens of a glypheid from Northern Territory, Australia, permits description of a new species, foresti. The epistome of the new species and of Glyphea alexandri Taylor, 1979, and G. regleyana (Desmarest, 1822) is not fused to the cephalothorax. Southern hemisphere representatives of the genus Glyphea exhibit similarities in development of the carapace grooves suggesting that they are closely allied and that they may have been the rootstock of the living, tropical western Paci!c inopinata Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1975. The rounded margins of the abdominal pleura suggest that the paratype specimen is a female, based upon comparison with that region on Neoglyphea inopinata. Sexual dimorphism was previously recognized in Glyphea regleyana by Etallon (1858).

RÉSUMÉ

L’examen de deux spécimens bien conservés du Cénomanien (Crétacé Supérieur) d’un glyphéide provenant de Northern Territory, Australie, a permis la description d’une nouvelle espèce, Glyphea foresti. L’épistome de la nouvelle espèce et de Glyphea alexandri Taylor, 1979, comme celui de G. regleyana (Desmarest, 1822) n’est pas soudé au céphalothorax. Les représentants de l’hémisphère Sud du genre Glyphea présentent des similarités dans le développement des sillons de la carapace, suggérant qu’ils sont étroitement apparentés et qu’ils pourraient être le groupe ancestral de l’espèce actuelle vivant dans le Paci!que tropical occidental, Neoglyphea inopinata Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1975. Les bords arrondis des pleurons abdominaux suggèrent que le spécimen paratype est une femelle, sur la base de la comparaison avec la région correspondante de Neoglyphea inopinata. Un dimorphisme sexuel avait été auparavant observé chez Glyphea regleyana par Etallon (1858).

INTRODUCTION

In 1954, the National Geographic Society sponsored an expedition to the area of Melville and Bathurst islands, Northern Territory, Australia (!g. 1). As a result of that work, Dr. B. Daily collected a number of Cenomanian fossils including ammonite cephalopods and . The ammonites were subsequently sent to C. W. Wright, then at Phillimore Gardens, London, by M. F. Glaessner and were published (Wright, 1963). Glaessner retained two specimens of a glypheid lobster collected from Bathurst Island by Daily. Subsequently, Glaessner gave one of us (M. de S.L.) the material for description. Thus, the purposes of this paper are to describe these specimens as a new species, referable to Glyphea; to provide evidence bearing on the fusion of the epistome to the cephalothorax in this genus; to consider the signi!cance of chelae and pseudochelae as the basis for distinguishin g the from the Palinura; and to comment on the systematic position of the .

SYSTEMATICS

Order DECAPODA Latreille, 1802

Superfamily GLY PHEOIDEA Winkler, 1882 Remarks. — The Glypheoidea have traditionally been placed within the infra- order Palinura, an infraorder characterized by the possession of pseudochelate, rather than truly chelate, pereiopods; the development of an epistomal plate that is inferred to have been fused to the cephalothorax; and the lack of a well-developed rostrum (Glaessner, 1969). Of these characters, the glypheoids were known to be exceptional in their possession of a well-developed rostrum. The discovery (Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1975) and subsequent detailed description (Forest et al., 1976; Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1981, 1989) of a living glypheid collected in the Philip- pines, Neoglyphea inopinata Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1975, provided anatomical comparisons that strongly suggested that the Glypheidae were more closely allied with the Astacidea than with the Palinura (Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1989). Al- though that position was supported by Feldmann & Maxwell (1999), they did not formalize the transfer of the Glypheidae into the Astacidea. Examination of new specimens forming the basis of a new species of Glyphea herein provides several lines of evidence essential to demonstrate the relationship of fossil glypheids to the extant Neoglyphea and to formalize the proximity of the Glypheoidea to the Astacidea. In contrast to the view previously held, the differences between chelate, pseudo- chelate, and achelate pereiopods are simply those of gradation. For example, within the Glypheoidea, and Pseudoglyphea (Mecochiridae) and Pemphix (Pemphicidae) exhibit pseudochelate closures in which the distal edge of the propodus of at least the !rst pereiopod is drawn out into a spine closely resembling the !xed !nger of true chelae (see Glaessner, 1969, !g. 271.2a, for example). Within the Astacidea, Clytiopsis (Erymidae) bears true chelae that are not substantially different from the pseudochelae seen in glypheoids. The claws of Clytiopsis have very short, rapidly tapering, edentulous !ngers that distinctly resemble spines. If one compares the morphology of the pseudochelae of typical glypheids with the chelae of the raninid crabs (see Glaessner, 1969, !g. 311.8, for a good example), there is very little difference. Typical raninid claws have a dactylus that closes across the distal end of the propodus and the !xed !nger resembles nothing as much as a hypertrophied spine. Achelate terminations of the !rst pereiopod(s) result from the lack of a pronounced spine on the propodus that serves as a !xed !nger. None of these comments is intended to suggest that the taxa mentioned are closely related to one another on the basis of claw morphology. On the contrary, they simply demonstrate that the development of closures involving 362 RODNEY M. FELDMANN & MICHÈLE DE SAINT LAURENT

The !xed !nger is simply a distal extension of the propodus, and thus, “true” chelae may have arisen independently within several, different decapod lineages. GLYPHEA FORESTI NOV. 363

Fusion of the epistome with the carapace in the glypheoids has largely been inferred by the observation that, in the Glypheidae, the epistome is often preserved and presumed to be in place. To be sure, the large and well-developed epistome is a hallmark of the Glypheidae. However, careful preparation of the Australian material (!g. 2A) and of specimens of the type species, Glyphea regleyana (Desmarest, 1822) (!g. 2B-D), con!rm that the epistome is not fused to the carapace and that a suture separates the epistome from the carapace. In some cases, for example, it can be observed that the epistome is not actually in place but is displaced dorsally beneath the lower margin of the carapace. Displacement is even more obvious in the holotype specimen of Glyphea alexandri Taylor, 1979, in which the epistome is entirely dissociated from the carapace and is rotated 90 degrees to its original position (!g. 2E). Forest & de Saint Laurent (1989) noted that the epistome was, in fact, a separate plate in Neoglyphea inopinata. There does not seem to be any evidence of a fused epistomal plate in any of the other Glypheoidea. Finally, the rostrum in all glypheoids, when preserved, is a prominent, well- developed structure. Thus, the criteria distinguishing the Palinura from the As- tacidea do not apply to the Glypheoidea and the superfamily most appropriately can be assigned to the Astacidea. The Glypheoidea include the Glypheidae, Mecochiridae, and Pemphicidae.

Family GLY PHEIDAE Winkler, 1882 Included genera. — Glyphea Von Meyer, 1835; Litogaster Von Meyer, 1847; Neoglyphea Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1975; Trachysoma Bell, 1858. Diagnosis. — Carapace subcylindrical, laterally compressed, anterior part of carapace with longitudinal carinae, cervical groove steeply inclined, branchiocar- diac groove well-developed, postcervical groove present but variably developed, !rst pereiopods well-developed, pseudochelate or achelate.

Genus Glyphea Von Meyer, 1835 Type species. — Palinurus regleyanus Desmarest, 1822, by original designation. Included species. — Glyphea alexandri Taylor, 1979; G. arborinsularis Ethe- ridge Jr., 1917; G. australensis Feldmann, Tshudy & Thomson, 1993; G. bathonica De Ferry, 1865*; G. bohemica Fritsch, 1887*; G. calloviensis H.

1822)*; G. regleyana (Desmarest, 1822); G. reticulata Feldmann & Gazdzicki,Ç 1997; G. robusta Feldmann & McPherson, 1980; G. rostrata (Phillips, 1829); G. squamosa (Münster, 1839)*; G. stilwelli Feldmann, 1993; G. tomesi Woodward, 1868; G. udressieri Von Meyer, 1840; G. vectensis H. Woods, 1927; G. willetti (Woodward, 1878). Those taxa denoted by an asterisk (*) were taken from Glaessner (1929) and have not been veri!ed. Diagnosis. — Carapace with simple, pointed rostrum; anterior longitudinal carinae well-developed, tuberculate; cervical groove steeply inclined to long axis of carapace but not perpendicular to it; postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves oblique, converge posteriorly, and joined medially and, in some species, laterally; epibranchial region in"ated and with long, narrow anterior extension; epistome large, swollen; telson rounded, complete; uropods with diaeresis; !rst pereiopods strong, pseudochelate. Remarks. — Genera within the Glypheidae are distinguished from one an- other largely on the orientation and relative development of the primary carapace grooves. Litogaster Von Meyer, 1847, and Trachysoma Bell, 1858, bear paral- lel postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves. Those grooves converge posteriorly, and the postcervical groove is often incompletely developed in Glyphea and Neo- glyphea. Of these genera, considerable confusion has surrounded the identi!ca- tion of Glyphea and Trachysoma. Quayle (1987) considered the two genera to be synonymous, a view that was not sustained by Feldmann & GazdzickÇ i (1997). In addition to the convergence of the postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves in Glyphea, two other morphological landmarks would seem to unequivocally dis- tinguish the two genera. In all authentic representatives of Glyphea the cervical groove approaches the dorsal surface at an angle ranging from about 60 to 80 degrees, whereas in Trachysoma that angle approaches 90 degrees. Further, the in"ated epibranchial region of authentic Glyphea extends anteriorly from the infe- rior groove, passes beneath the ventral-most extension of the cervical groove, and tapers out at approximately the position of the posterior margin of the epistome. The epibranchial region is thus quite distinct and is not similarly developed in either Trachysoma scabrum Bell, 1858 (see Quayle, 1987, text-!g. 5b), the type species of the genus, or T. ornatum (Quenstedt, 1858) (see Glaessner, 1969, !g. 269-2b). That same extension of the epibranchial region is apparent on Neoglyphea inopinata and in that species appears to accommodate movement of the 2nd maxillipeds (see Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1981, !g. 23). Thus, there seem to be suf!cient characters of the cephalothorax that distinguish Glyphea from Trachysoma to warrant retaining each as a distinct genus. GLYPHEA FORESTI NOV. 365

Glyphea foresti n. sp. (!gs. 2A, 3A-E, 4A-D) Types. — The holotype, MNHN R.63537, and paratype, MNHN R.63538, are deposited in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris. Both specimens were collected by Dr. B. Daily, 1954, and were presented to Dr. M. F. Glaessner. Occurrence. — The specimens were collected from the Moonkinu Member of the Bathurst Island Formation, from 3 m above to 5 m below “Tapara Bed” in association with Acanthoceras sp., among other ammonites (Wright, 1963: 612) at Meadinga, east of Moonkinu Creek, on the south coast of Bathurst Island, Northern Territory, Australia (!g. 1). The age of the rocks is Upper Cenomanian.

Measurements. — Measurements, in millimeters, taken on the holotype are given in !g. 4. Etymology. — The trivial name honors Prof. Jacques Forest, whose pioneering work on Neoglyphea inopinata provided the basis for our present understanding of the Glypheidae. Remarks. — Forest (1981) eloquently described the history of discovery, description, and interpretation of Neoglyphea inopinata, based upon a single specimen collected during the “Albatross” cruises, which were conducted near the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The remarkable similarity of this living species with the glypheids known only from the fossil record of the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic permitted study of anatomical details that would never be possible with fossils. Some of the key morphological features seen on N. inopinata can also be observed on Glyphea foresti n. sp.; for example, 368 RODNEY M. FELDMANN & MICHÈLE DE SAINT LAURENT

GLYPHEA FORESTI NOV. 369 both possess huge "aring eyes that extend well beyond the tip of the rostrum and both have incomplete postcervical grooves. In all regards, the specimens described herein conform to the de!nition of Glyphea. Although there is potential dif!culty in distinguishin g members of this genus from those of Trachysoma Bell, there are several points of difference that can be recognized as discussed above. Glyphea foresti, along with other species of the genus, is characterized by having a curving cervical groove that approaches the dorsal midline at a steep angle of less than 90 degrees, postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves that do not parallel one another, and development of an epibranchial region that extends as a projection beneath the posterior portion of the cephalic region. Although no monographic treatment of the genus has been attempted recently, Woods (1925) presented a detailed summary of Cretaceous species known to that date, and Feldmann & McPherson (1980) summarized the criteria for distinguish- ing groups of species within the genus. Within Glyphea, they recognized wide variation in terms of the development of cephalic carinae, development of the postcervical groove, and ornamentation. The range of variation within the genus is great enough to suggest that revision of the systematics might be warranted. Species including Glyphea arborinsularis, G. cretacea, G. oculata, G. prest- wichi, and G. robusta possess three pairs of cephalic carinae but none has cari- nae that are smooth posteriorly and becoming more spinose anteriorly. Similarly, several species, including Glyphea alexandri, G. arborinsulari s, G. australensis, G. calloviensis, G. christeyi, G. cretacea, G. georgianus, G. oculata, G. reticu- lata, G. robusta, and G. rostrata, are characterized by the lack of an accessory groove connecting the midpoints of the postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves; however, none of these has a postcervical groove that is developed as a discon- tinuous series of slit-like depressions as in the case of G. foresti n. sp. Finally, several species, including Glyphea arborinsularis, G. australensis, G. christeyi, G. foresti, G. oculata, G. prestwichi, G. robusta, and G. rostrata, lack ornamen- tation between the cephalic carinae, although of these species only G. christeyi has an absolutely smooth surface between the cervical and branchiocardiac re- gions. Glyphea christeyi, however, has smooth supraorbital and orbital ridges and a pattern of ornamentation that becomes !ner posteriorly and dorsally, quite unlike those characters on G. foresti. Thus, the combination of these characters renders Glyphea foresti unique.

SEXUAL DIMORPHISM Expression of preservable secondary sexual characteristics including features of the cephalothorax and abdomen of lobsters is not particularly common. Herrick 370 RODNEY M. FELDMANN & MICHÈLE DE SAINT LAURENT

(1911) noted that the females of the American lobster, Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, 1837, tended to be smaller, and to have smaller claws and broader abdomina than males; however, recognition of gender in fossil Homarus would be virtually impossible, based solely upon these criteria. Perhaps the best evidence for secondary sexual characteristics in lobsters lies within the Glypheidae. Forest & de Saint Laurent (1989) called attention to the work of Etallon (1858) in which sexual dimorphism was demonstrated in Glyphea regleyana. Males possessed longer and more slender !rst pereiopods and sharply- pointed terminations on the abdominal pleura as opposed to rounded terminations in females. Similar dimorphic features were recognized in Neoglyphea inopinata (cf. Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1989). In that taxon, the !rst pereiopods of males were longer and proportionately more slender than those of the females, and the terminations of pleura on abdominal somites 2-4 were pointed in males whereas pleura on all somites of the females were rounded. If these criteria are applied to the one specimen of Glyphea foresti possessing a well-developed abdomen (!g. 3E), that individual is a female. As such, this is only the second record of a fossil species of glypheid, and one of very few fossil macrurans, in which sexual dimorphism appears to be demonstrable in characters of the dorsal carapace and pereiopods.

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE GLYPHEIDS

The geographic distribution of Glyphea spp. appears to be bipolar. In the north- ern hemisphere, authentic species of the genus are found in subpolar and temperate paleolatitudes in Europe and North America. In the southern hemisphere, species are known from as far south as the Antarctic peninsula and as far north and North- ern Territories, Australia. These localities would have been at subpolar to temper- ate paleolatitudes. None is know from tropical or subtropical paleolatitudes. It appears that Glyphea foresti and the eight other representatives of this genus from the Southern Hemisphere: Glyphea arborinsulari s and G. oculata from the Aptian and Albian, respectively, of Queensland, Australia; G. alexandri and G. georgiensis from the Lower Cretaceous of Antarctica; G. australensis from the Campanian and Maastrichtian of Antarctica; the sole Paleocene species, G. stilwelli from New Zealand; and the two species, G. reticulata from the Eocene of Antarctica and G. christeyi from the Eocene of New Zealand; may be related. All are characterized by relatively weak development of the postcervical groove and the absence of an accessory groove connecting the midpoints of the postcervical and branchiocardiac grooves. The two Eocene occurrences from Antarctica and New Zealand are the geologically youngest occurrences of Glyphea known. The observation that these are the youngest occurrences of the genus, in GLYPHEA FORESTI NOV. 371 addition to the apparent morphological af!nities of the Southern Hemisphere forms to the tropical, western Paci!c Neoglyphea inopinata may indicate a long period of relative isolation of these species from the Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
